An 18-year-old woman in California, named Riley Benado, recently received shocking news. After learning that she had a devastating medical condition, Riley started a GoFundMe account in order to help raise money for her medical bills. Riley is a recent high school graduate who loves wakeboarding, cheerleading, and photography. A few months ago, Riley went to see her doctor because she had been feeling bloated and having uncomfortable pelvic pain.

At first, the doctors just assumed Riley was pregnant because her abdomen was so swollen. She was first given a pregnancy test, and health care providers told her that she was at least 5 months pregnant. Though the doctors kept suggesting that she was pregnant, Riley knew this was impossible because she was actually still a virgin. Since Riley knew she could not be pregnant, she insisted that the doctors run more tests.

After ultrasounds and CAT scans, the doctors finally figured out what was wrong.
